If you remember a month ago while we were out at the SEMA Show we had the chance to check out all the vehicles Chevrolet unveiled prior to the show. Well one of those trucks caught its big break and will be going into production.
The vehicle that caught the big break was the Special Ops Silverado. This truck was loaded with Chevy add-ons including the rear rack, LED lights, and a matte three-tone blue exterior paint scheme.
The limited production version is expected to go on sale next spring. Chevrolet will donate a portion of the proceeds from each Special Operations Silverado sold to benefit the Navy SEAL Museum.
“The partnership will also help us aid the families of fallen, injured and active duty Navy SEALs through the efforts of our Trident House and scholarship programs,” said retired U.S. Navy SEAL Master Chief Rick Kaiser.
The announcement was made at the Army-Navy football game, an event that Chevrolet has been the official vehicle of for six straight years. During the game, Chevrolet honored military service men and women, particularly its special forces.
“We sincerely appreciate the support of Chevrolet as we take on this bold challenge,” said U.S. Army Capt. Matt Hickey, USX co-founder and team member. “Although our goal is big, so are the needs of today’s veterans, and our mission and Chevrolet’s support inspires others to get involved.”
It is great to see a concept vehicle, especially one with a great meaning behind it like this one make it to the production floor even it is for a limited run. Would you drive this truck? Tell us in the comments below!
